FAQs

Common Questions

How much does trademark registration cost in Pakistan?

Official IPO fees are roughly PKR 3,000 for filing per class plus around PKR 9,000 for registration, though these are periodically revised. Our calculator above gives a working estimate — we'll confirm the exact current fee.

How long does trademark registration take?

The full process typically takes 6 to 18 months, mostly due to IPO's statutory examination and 2-month public opposition period after publication in the Trade Marks Journal.

Can I register a trademark covering multiple product categories in one application?

No — Pakistan requires a separate application for each Nice Classification class, unlike some countries that allow multi-class filings.

How long does a registered trademark stay valid?

A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed indefinitely in further 10-year terms.

What happens if someone opposes my trademark application?

If a third party files an opposition during the 2-month publication window, we respond on your behalf; unresolved oppositions can extend the timeline but are relatively uncommon for distinctive marks.
